so i have had 1 ocerallis (sp?) clown in qt for about 4 weeks and he's has been eating ora glow pellets but i heard to you should supplement there diet with meaty foods so i feed him some brine shrimp and blood worm frozen food i just shaved a little off the cube in a cup and added some tank water then added it to the qt tank he ate it fine but hasn't ate since i have offered both the pellets and the frozen food to no avail another thing i have noticed is that he used to be a pretty active swimmer and lately he just kind of hangs out in one spot prams are fine

pretty stumped no visible reason for this he was just about to go in the 180 but i would like to get him eating again before he does thanks for your time
 
I feed mysis or Rods, stay away from frozen brine not very nutritional. I thought blood worms were for fresh water fish. Healthy clownfish can go for up to 2 weeks without food. I would not want to wait that long. Keep offering it very tiny bits and if all else fails try live brine. I would only suggest this for emergency situations, you can find it at most quality saltwater LFS. Mine always went crazy for it.
